As spawners of demons, me and my wife have frequently discussed how people not watching shows and movies targeted at children are missing a whole genre of awesome stuff!

Adventurer Time, Ducktales (new version), Avatar the last airbender, Kipo, She-Ra and the list goes on and on…

Edit: Lego movies, arguably Lego Batman is the best batman movie.

There is a ton of stuff and a lot of it has been made so that it is enjoyable for kids but all the subtle adult stuff snuck in is just chefs kiss 😅

Yes, I just finished watching all of Phineas and Ferb with my 32-yo daughter. Also Hey Arnold until it got taken off whatever we were watching it on. But of course nothing beats SpongeBob.

I watch adult cartoons now, rick and morty, south park, simpsons, bojack horseman etc etc.

I do still love kids cartoons but exclusively the ones I enjoyed growing up. Some are no good because I'm not a child any more, some survive on pure nostalgia and some are actually enjoyable. I havent given any modern kids cartoons a chance, because I'm not the target audience and I have no nostalgia attached.

I do watch tiny kids cartoons as a parent, but Bluey is pretty much the only one I can actually enjoy sometimes.

An adult is a kid with bills to pay.

I do like Spongebob!

I definitely watch some content meant for children, because much of that content works with multiple age ranges. For example, Ponyo. That shit makes me cry like a bitch. Fantastic film.

There is a terrible misconception that there must be a point at which you stop enjoying things because it is improper, but at a certain point fuck the haters and enjoy the ride because none of us get out alive.

yes. i watched 4 or 5 episodes of Earthworm Jim yesterday. i rewatch Gravity Falls once a year or so. spongebob, pinky and the brain, and many others are all in my lineup

Oh, sure, although mostly older stuff (The Real Ghostbusters, Freakazoid, Sonic Sat-AM, Digimon Adventure 02 specifically, Batman The Animated Series, etc). Nostalgia is certainly a factor, but I enjoy animation and especially appreciating the work that goes into creating a cartoon. Helpfully, a lot of the shows I grew up with in the late 80s and through the 90s were only sort of intended for children and were made by people who loved art and animation and wanted shows they could enjoy, and not just slop intended to sell toys (not that I don't watch The Masters of the Universe on occasion. What a goofy fucking show. I watched it a lot as a kid and always said I hated it, but obviously I didn't. Today, an Orko figurine lives by my computer). TRGB slips after the first two seasons, but the others I enjoy wholly. Eh, there's others I like too but only watch piecemeal and on occasion, like Dexter's Laboratory and Power Puff Girls. I need to find Pinky and the Brain to rewatch. I wonder if I would enjoy rewatching Inspector Gadget?

Newer stuff not so much. I mean I like animation a lot as an art, but also, I am very picky when it comes to style, so most newer programming for any age is right out.

Like Saturday morning cartoons then no, I tried watching some old cartoons I grew up on like chip and dales recently on Disney+ and it made me realize how much they simplified the plots and dialogues for the kids, it was too boring for me. I do watch adult animation though and sadly so many people still think anything animated is just cartons for kids because of companies like Disney and Hana Barbera pushing that dynamic for all these years

"still watch"? i never stopped.

I will forever love Looney Tunes. It's a classic.

A good show is a good show. Doesn’t matter the style or the intended demographic.

BLUEY!

I love old stuff except for bluey witch is great

I still watch them, Some kids cartoons are timeless and some its like a completely new show from an adult perspective.

Not as much, mainly because there's an unwritten rule with watching cartoons you grew up with. That being, don't watch some cartoons if you want to preserve the memory of how fond of the cartoon you were as a kid. Because not all cartoons are going to land the same as an adult than it did as a kid. So, there's some shows I avoid myself to not have that feeling. There's others like the old Transformers stuff I'd watch because that was a little before my time and I heard it was good, as well as the other series.

But revisiting things like old Nick cartoons or even a lot of Saturday morning level of cartoons because, I enjoyed those more as a kid than I probably do as an adult.

Not sure. I often hear Bluey and Phineas & Ferb referred to as kids cartoons, but I find the humor surprisingly mature.

Invader zim is still fun, as is clone high. Or anything from Studio Ghibili

I’m re-watching Gravity Falls right now

I still watch/watched a few as an adult and really enjoyed them.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

The Legend of Korra

The Dragon Prince

She-Ra (the new one)

Tron: Identity

Excluding anime (which I watch regularly) the newest cartoon I watched was Star vs. the Forces of Evil. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone looking to get back into cartoons.

But the best cartoon I’ve ever watched was avatar the last airbender. Not many rise to that level of quality so its unfair to set the bar there.

As an adult, it's only sad dramas and dreary procedurals for me. No time for fun what with taxes, job, and housework. I'm afraid it's all very serious, adulting. I'm gonna sing the doom song.

Yes. I watch the Spiderman cartoons from the late 60's, Spongebob Squarepants and Rik and Morty (although I suspect that is more for adults).

My girlfriend and I watch My Little Pony while we eat dinner sometimes. I also occasionally put cartoons on as background noise, like SpongeBob, Regular Show, Adventure Time, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed Edd and Eddy, etc.

My Plex homepage is pretty funny because the continue watching section is The Boys, My Little Pony, Better Call Saul, etc. Pretty big discrepancy there lol

I dont watch a lot of TV anymore. A lot of the stuff taking itself seriously tends to suck. There are a few absolute gems, but most of everything else is like, petty, or bullshit, or garbage in some other way. There was this wave of reality-show fever when it feels like every damned TV show had to shoehorn some contrived petty drama that sidetracked from the interesting stuff and i got so fed up and checked out of the medium. It absolutely felt like every channel was doing it, inescapable.

Except for stupid cartoons. There's something about a show not taking itself seriously that makes it perfect. And the serious kids media wasn't made to cash in petty, mean spirited bullshit, its made as a reminder of some important lesson that we should not forget to pass on to the next generation. Yeah i prefer cartoons.

I've stopped for a while, like ten years at least, but picked them up again since covid.
